Seek, Hear, Trust, Obey; and Everything Will Be OK!

“When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. And, behold, there came a l***r and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.” - Matthew‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭

It’s one thing to know that God can, it’s an other thing to believe that God will. Humility doesn’t assume anything, but faith seek until it gains understanding.

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” - Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭6‬ ‭

Scripture tells us that faith comes by hearing the words of God. Why? Because true faith is believing what God says, who is the only one that we can truly trust. We can put our faith in the wrong things and it will not turn out ok for us. We can put our faith in idols, or in other people, or in ourselves even, and it will not end well. Yet when we put our faith in God then things will work out for the good. That is why it is so important to set aside time to seek and hear from Him often.

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” - Jeremiah‬ ‭29‬:‭11‬-‭13‬ ‭

In our opening passage the l***r did not sit in silence and simply believe that he was untitled to a healing. No, he sought out Jesus. He asked and he received it. His healing was not for him only, but as is usually the case with God, it was meant to be a witness to the unbelieving as well. This is why, as soon as Jesus said, “yes”, and he was healed, he was then instructed to “go tell” the pharisees. Not the lost world that was hungry for miracles, but the straying powerless church leaders that were envious of them. Not the desired audience, but God speaks with purpose and seeking Him will not always ensure that we hear what we wanted, but we will hear what is truly needed. Then, it’s up to us to obey it and be part of a narrative that is greater than our understanding. That’s where faith lives.

So if you want a faith that produces miracles, than seek Him like the l***r did. Seek His will, His words, trust them, receive His grace, obey them, and see things change. And after He has done great things for you, don’t be surprised if he ask you to do some hard things too. Don’t abandon the one who helped you, stay loyal and true all the way through. Don’t just let him bless you, let him use you too. Even when the assignment isn’t glorious, or maybe doesn’t seem as victorious as the ones that came before it. Everything God says, has purpose. Seek, hear, trust, and obey it. Eventually it will all make sense and you’ll be so glad that you did. God never speaks for no reason. If He says anything, even the smallest thing, even the things that seem to make no sense in the moment, just trust His wisdom and listen.

“and he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.” - ‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭15‬:‭2‬ ‭

When the Reprieve Ends

“This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the LORD of hosts. The LORD will be terrible unto them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the heathen.” - Zephaniah‬ ‭2‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭

We all know the story of Jonah and the whale. How God had so great a mercy for the evil of the people of Nineveh, that he sent a reluctant minister to warn them of imminent judgment. Surprisingly they received the warning, heeded the warning, and repented.

However, what few may realize is, that is not where the story ended. Because Nineveh returned to their prideful sexual deviance, violence, selfishness, and child sacrifices. So did the wrath of God return unto them as well. Where they had once repented and gotten mercy, their reprieve was short lived.

“They that observe lying vanities Forsake their own mercy.” - Jonah‬ ‭2‬:‭8‬ ‭

“Because the penalty against an evil work is not executed quickly, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged (because of mercy giving space for repentance), yet I surely know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him. But it will not be well with the wicked; nor will he prolong his days (forever), which are as a shadow, because he does not fear before God.” - Ecclesiastes‬ ‭8‬:‭11‬-‭13‬ ‭

Nineveh forsook the great mercy that God once offered it, they thought they were unstoppable, untouchable. So they returned to their vomit and received an even worse judgment than the preaching of Jonah had once given them a reprieve from. God is merciful, but there is a point at which mercy runs out, because continuing mercy upon the wicked is too great an injustice to the innocent victims of their selfishness.

“God hates Hands that shed innocent blood,” - Proverbs‬ ‭6‬:‭17‬ ‭

So eventually, God dealt with Nineveh, and utterly destroyed it. God will not be mocked, manipulated, nor His mercies taken advantage of. Eventually judgment for sin, pride, and wickedness, comes. Don’t participate in it, cry out against it, that you might be spared when the rod of God’s authority starts swinging.

“This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the LORD of hosts. The LORD will be terrible unto them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the heathen. Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by my sword. And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry like a wilderness. And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations: both the cormorant and the bittern shall lodge in the upper lintels of it; their voice shall sing in the windows; desolation shall be in the thresholds: for he shall uncover the cedar work. This is the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none beside me: how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! every one that passeth by her shall hiss, and wag his hand. “Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city! She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God. Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow. Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law. The just LORD is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame. I have cut off the nations: their towers are desolate; I made their streets waste, that none passeth by: their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, that there is none inhabitant. I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive instruction; so their dwelling should not be cut off, howsoever I punished them: but they rose early, and corrupted all their doings. Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.” - Zephaniah‬ ‭2‬:‭10‬-3‬:‭8‬

“Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired; before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD's anger come upon you. Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD's anger. For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up. Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word of the LORD is against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant. And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks.” - Zephaniah‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭
